Week 6 - Veronica

New programming concepts that were of particular interest to me was Jquery. I found it surprisingly easier than what I expected. I found it of interest because it is definitely a new puzzle to solve and understand all the moving parts that come along and the way it plays into the HTML,CSS concepts I have felt comfortable with.

Explain how this works in JavaScript: This is a way to call same selector & work with it. ex: when elements fade out, and next element replaces its position, that is when you can use ‘this’.

What's the difference between a relative, fixed, absolute and statically positioned element? Relative positioning means that an element is in a position placed based on its neighboring element. Fixed is when the element is taken out of the flow of the page and ‘glued’ to a specific spot on the page and you can see it regardless if you scroll away. Absolute positioning is specific dimension measurements being applied, while static positioning is the default position.

What are some advantages/disadvantages to testing your code? Advantage is being able to try new things, and play around with code without it messing the rest of your code up. Its an easy access into deciphering any complications, while keeping your page neat. Disadvantage would be that you may be blindly guessing how it will impact the rest of the code, or spend too much time testing without progress.
